“As far as I’m concerned, I’m on my own,” King said. “They’re going to have to go a long way to get my vote on anything,” said the 20-year congressional veteran about House Republican leaders.

Lawmakers from New York and New Jersey were trying to arrange a Tuesday-night vote on a $60 billion aid package that was previously passed in the Senate. But House leaders changed their mind, meaning the package will likely die when the 112th Congress ends on Thursday, Politico reported.

President Barack Obama urged the House to vote on the bill on Wednesday. “When tragedy strikes, Americans come together to support those in need. I urge Republicans in the House of Representatives to do the same, bring this important request to a vote today, and pass it without delay for our fellow Americans,” he said in a statement.

“I’m saying right now, anyone from New York or New Jersey who contributes one penny to congressional Republicans is out of their minds,” King said. Because what they did last night was put a knife in the back of New Yorkers and New Jerseyans. It was an absolute disgrace.”

An aide for House Speaker John Boehner said the Ohio Republican is committed to passing a Sandy-aid bill this month. The outrage, meanwhile, was bipartisan.

“It’s time to take the gloves off, Jersey style,” said Rep. Bill Pascrell, a Democrat who represents the Garden State’s eighth district.
